Exoneree Tells Story of Wrongful Conviction in One-Man Show

Samuel Beckett isn’t for everyone. His novels are vast, nearly un-peopled monologues, an obsessive-compulsive’s droning echo chambers, which depict the struggle to keep oneself upright and hygienic in a bleak, mundane, thoroughly contaminated solipsistic mindscape. Admittedly, I have tried to read several of Beckett’s novels, only to abandon them half-way. Each time I begin one anew, I start to feel like one of his characters: haggardly trying to go on with a dim resolve, keeping a faith that I know will fail me, waiting for something (anything!) to happen.

Gregory Bright seems like a beautiful soul that will
accomplish great deeds! I only wish him an amazing
life from here on and hope he received some compensation
$ for the wrongful conviction he endured!
